LOVE + RESISTANCE

Take part in a series of events that celebrate the spirit of possibility from 1980s to now

Join us this winter for a season of artist talks, public discussions, film nights, live performance and parties inspired by the collective power of art and artists in 1980s Britain.  

Explore the way artists use photography and performance to tell stories bridging the personal and political; find love, refuge and power in collectives and nightlife spaces – and how art and artists help us navigate the urgent issues of today. 

This event series is inspired by the The 80s: Photographing Britain, Turner Prize 2024, Leigh Bowery! exhibitions and ARTIST ROOMS: Helen Chadwick »å¾±²õ±è±ô²¹²â.Ìý
